Answer
Hello Rajesh,

I don't normally answer questions about exotic birds- but do you have a bird zoo near you and will they take that sort of bird? The grains you should be feeding are cracked corn, flax, white and red proso millet, oat groats, safflower, buckwheat, and sunflower, if you can get hold of any of these he should eat it readily :)
